It's such a treat to ride. I edited out lots of footage where I was just cackling to myself whilst treating the back streets as a 60kph race track. Never lift!
Haha funny how things work huh. Locals here love to complain about how terrible the roads are too. A lot of people in New Zealand don’t know how good they have it. Being so far away from the rest of the world, many never get the chance to check out other places and put things in perspective.
Saw one of these in Derbyshire (UK) a few of months ago. The small wheels threw me when I was trying to work out what it was. They really change the look somehow, along with the extensive racking system. Nice machine, and a talking point for sure, but I’ll stick with my Innova ANF125 Special. That also has become a talking point, apparently! Thanks for the video, and all the videos! Les 🇬🇧
Haha I see what you did there. 'Kub'. Wish my bikes cost $4 per year to register. The only respite we get is once they are 40 years old, registration is discounted due to age.
@@SmallBikeStuff Yes, I refer to it as the Kub, and you know exactly why ;) Motorcycle registration in Korea is taxed mostly on engine size, but even for large motorcycles, it doesn't cost too much. I think a liter-plus bike costs maybe $120 a year. There is a one-time fee for purchasing the license plate, but that is only around $15 when you first register it. I believe for motorcycles over a certain amount (high vaue motorcycles) there is a luxury tax when bought new. None of that applies to motorcycles with smaller engine sizes, of course.
@@RideWithRenThe UK sits somewhere in the middle on this. From memory (shakes!) my ANF125 costs £25 ‘road tax’ p.a, my car (1400cc diesel) costs £20, and my Serow (225cc) costs £40 p.a. Terrible when you know that a motorcycle is likely to do about 25% of the annual car mileage, or less, and takes up less road space and less fuel & pollution. Les
Yeah you can get the NBC110 through Trademe or turners second hand after either NZ Post or DX mail is done with them. Both companies are now using CT125’s also - therefore they will be sold in big lots second hand eventually.
In the states of Indiana and Ohio, any bike over 50cc is a motorcycle; it has the same regulations and fees. My Super Cub 125cc costs and uses the same regulations as a 1500cc+ Harley / Goldwing cruiser.
That's the same here in NZ a 70cc cub is in the same class as a 1800cc+ motorbike even though you wouldn't take a 70cc on our open roads because it can't do 100kph
It's kind of strange watching you drive in traffic when it's almost all cars. Here in America now cars make up about 10% of traffic, it's all SUVs, mini-vans and pickup trucks. Cars seem to be going away here.
We do have a lot of what we consider "big cars" around. But the SUV's we consider big are half the size of a Yukon and our pickups are again - half the size. I was thinking as I edited it all looked so normal to me - but surely others might find it interesting. You've answered that question for me!
Does that include all taxes? In the U.S. we have registration every 1 or 2 years which is about $50. But most states also have property tax which is based on some arbitrary depreciating value over the years. So having a bunch of old small bikes isn’t too bad.
Yeah that's including all taxes. I did miss a few pieces of information. Anything bigger than 50cc needs an regular safety inspection - every 6 months for older than the year 2000, 12 months for post 2000, and you get a 3 year inspection exemption on brand new vehicles. This inspection costs ON TOP of the registration fee. If anything fails you have 28 days to rectify the issue for a free reinspection. 50cc is much cheaper - similar car costs. Also we can put the registration 'on hold' if we choose to but it needs to be for a minimum of 3 months.
@@SmallBikeStuff Every six months! Wow, that would be a hassle if you had a small fleet of vehicles. Here in Korea, there is a four-year exemption for safety inspections from new; after four years you need a safety and emissions inspection every two years. Vehicles made before 2009 are emissions exempt. You're also exempt from emissions if your county has less than 500,000 inhabitants.
Maybe you should start lobbing NZ authorities to scrap or discount fees for bikes that are above 25 or 30 y.o. So at least older ones driven only at the weekend would be cheaper.
Umm, only needs 3rd gear, load it up fully with Letters and u will find you 1,2,3 👍 on talking about cost of small bikes in NZ cost! I was shocked you should talk more about, if you don’t live there, you don’t know.
Haha okay okay thats very true. It was fun though seeing how long I could keep it in 3rd gear. Thanks for the comment - I'll be sure to chat about things more.
@@SmallBikeStuff Bro 😎! Voge FR150cc - £1457 6 speed under-bone! Hope you can get a report on it! A Malaysian/Thailand tour on this! 5.8 litre tank! In the words of Joe Rogan - Bring that up for me Jamie. Pray 🙏 it comes to UK
Sorry to hear about your discriminatory rules against small but over 50cc bikes in NZ. Bikes in most of the world where are not too many /like south east Asia aria/, are bit overlooked and strange. We in eastern Europe have exponential taxes for bikes but the insurance is one and the same 50cc or 2000cc .. You pay the same, but it's not that expensive.. 65€ per year. Some parts of central Europe have rules that with car license, you can ride up to 125 after some years .. Otherwise we have M - 50cc from age of 16, A1 - 125cc age 17, A2 from 18 with completed rules for weight and up to 48 hp and full A categories from 21 .. That is why there are tons of bikes around 47 hp
I was shocked at how comfortable and smooth the bike was when Paul let me give it a rip. Such a cool model. The expanding box is awesome.
It's such a treat to ride. I edited out lots of footage where I was just cackling to myself whilst treating the back streets as a 60kph race track. Never lift!
I’m jealous of how smooth your roads are. Our uk roads are a potholed mess

that looks like a totally fun ride.
Such a fun, lazy little machine to ride!

Not gonna lie, after seeing the first video I have a tab open checking to see if any of these make it stateside.
This is the kind of person I aspire to be. Nice work!
That astronomic registration cost is insane! My Kub costs me 4 US dollars a year to register here in Korea!

That looks loads of fun to ride. Torquey little engine
It really is a nice bike to ride. Thanks for watching Rory!
There are thousands if not tens of thousands of the CT110's in Australia. Hard to spot the difference!
Yup New Zealand is full of them too. Main difference is wheel size, air intake location and the fuel tank size.
Can you buy the NZ Post Honda Cub I see around my town? Or are a special build or no longer......

Super interesting. I guess if anything at least we aren't the only one paying big bike costs to ride small bikes!
OMG, It's got Grip Heaters!
Flash as eh?
They’re a great addition to any bike, but having them standard on a tiny machine like this is very welcome!

There are reduced fees for 40 year plus vehicles
As mentioned by the other commenter - 40 years or older gets a significant discount thankfully.

Interesting to learn how things work in different countries. Makes sense about the 47HP bikes. I had noticed that trend and did wonder why.
